Answer: Promotion of electrons is accompanied by a release of energy because of absorption of photon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Promotion of electrons occurs when an electron accepts or absorbs a photon which leads to it's movement from a lower energy level orbital to a higher energy orbital.
According to Bohr, the electrons was restricted to certain energy levels and was thought to move along certain circular orbits around the nucleus. These energy levels were identified by means of principal quantum number, n. The wave mechanics model of atom does not restrict the electrons to a certain energy levels only. Instead it describes a region around the Nucleus called orbitals where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of ENERGY.
The energy levels are composed of one or more orbitals and the distribution of electrons around the nucleus is determined by the number and kind of energy levels that are occupied.
Bohr made an assumption that an electron emits energy in the form of radiation when it moves from a higher to a lower permitted orbit, this produces a line in the atomic emission spectrum. Since the energies of the higher and lower orbits are fixed, the line will be of a particular energy and frequency.
